| Mouse event position X/Y doesn't update with al_use_transform |

Having a little problem with mouse eventing. I am drawing a bitmap with al_draw_rotated_bitmap() which rotates the player bitmap towards where the mouse cursor is pointing. It works nicely until I scroll the map, in which the coordinates seem to be stuck at the screen where the player "spawned". This causes the player bitmap to not respond towards mouse movement as soon as I scroll the map in X or Y direction. 1hero->setAngle(atan2(float(mouseAxesY - pos_y),float(mouseAxesX - pos_x))); // Radiens = arc tangent of mouseAxesX/Y - Player positionX/Y Set angle for player rotation on hero->update()
This is the code where I get the mouse cursor position: 1ALLEGRO_EVENT ev;
2
3if (ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_MOUSE_AXES) {
4 mouseAxesX = ev.mouse.x;
5 mouseAxesY = ev.mouse.y;
6}
And the code which scrolls the map: 1// Update camera position
2
3map->setOffsetX(0);
4map->setOffsetY(0);
5
6map->setOffsetX(map->getOffsetX() - (screenW / 2) + (pos_x + hero->getPBitmapWidth() / 2));
7map->setOffsetY(map->getOffsetY() - (screenH / 2) + (pos_y + hero->getPBitmapHeight() / 2));
8
9if (map->getOffsetX() < 0)
10 map->setOffsetX(0);
11if (map->getOffsetY() < 0)
12 map->setOffsetY(0);
13
14al_identity_transform(&camera);
15al_translate_transform(&camera, -map->getOffsetX(), -map->getOffsetY());
16al_use_transform(&camera);
For reference, here is the entire function: 1void BasicGameEngine::start() {
2
3 al_start_timer(timer); // Start timer. This operates at the industry standard 60 FPS, see constructor
4 hero = new OurHero(50, 50);
5
6 // Initialize 5 projectiles for our hero
7
8 hero->initProjectile(Projectile, 5);
9
10 // Get X/Y position of player
11
12 float pos_y = hero->getPosY();
13 float pos_x = hero->getPosX();
14
15 // Maximum speed player can move (value = pixel pr. second)
16
17 hero->setSpeed(3);
18
19 // Generate our map
20
21 map = new OurMap(10,10);
22
23 // Initiate main game loop

25 while (!done) {

Any help would be appreciated with this |

I didn't take a close look at the code, but are you mapping the coords to the transform (see: al_transform_coordinates )? Allegro can't do that for you, as is has absolutely no idea when/where to do that for you. -- |

Thanks for the reply, Thomas No, I wasn't, I where not even aware of that function I tried using it, like this: 1 // Update player position
2
3 float *mAX_p = &mAX, *mAY_p = &mAY;
4 *mAX_p = mouseAxesX;
5 *mAY_p = mouseAxesY;
6
7 hero->setPosX(pos_x);
8 hero->setPosY(pos_y);
9 hero->setAngle(atan2(float(*mAY_p - pos_y),float(*mAX_p - pos_x))); // Radiens = arc tangent of mouseAxesX/Y - Player positionX/Y
10 // Set angle for player rotation on hero->update()
11 hero->update();
12
13 // Update camera position
14
15 map->setOffsetX(0);
16 map->setOffsetY(0);
17
18 map->setOffsetX(map->getOffsetX() - (screenW / 2) + (pos_x + hero->getPBitmapWidth() / 2));
19 map->setOffsetY(map->getOffsetY() - (screenH / 2) + (pos_y + hero->getPBitmapHeight() / 2));
20
21 if (map->getOffsetX() < 0)
22 map->setOffsetX(0);
23 if (map->getOffsetY() < 0)
24 map->setOffsetY(0);
25
26 al_identity_transform(&camera);
27 al_translate_transform(&camera, -map->getOffsetX(), -map->getOffsetY());
28 al_transform_coordinates(&camera, mAX_p, mAY_p);
29 al_use_transform(&camera);
But it still doesn't map the mouse coordinates, I got the same result as before |

The problem is that you're mixing screen coordinates (the mouse coordinates) and world coordinates (the player position). Transform the player coordinates into screen coordinates before doing the subtraction and atan2(). Also: why are you using all those pointers? Also #2: "radians", not "radiens". -- |

Doh! It becomes pretty obvious when you mention it. Thanks, I'll give it a whirl then edit: But won't I need to transform the mouse coordinates aswell? edit2: Any good documentation/tutorials I can read up on transformation? I've tried to mend the code with the proposals but it seems to fall short, and I really want to learn to get a decent grasp on this. |

All you need is the formulas for the transformation. camx + msx = worldx screenx = worldx - camx You don't need to use allegro's transformations here, but if you did you would use translate transforms : 1ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM ToWorldCoords;
2ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM ToScreenCoords;
3
4al_identity_transform(&ToWorldCoords);
5al_identity_transform(&ToScreenCoords);
6
7int camx = 0;
8int camy = 0;
9int mapw = 0;
10int maph = 0;
11
12void set_camera(int cx , int cy , int width , int height) {
13
14 camx = cx - width/2;
15 camy = cy - height/2;
16 if (camx < 0) {camx = 0;}
17 if (camy < 0) {camy = 0;}
18 if (camx + width >= mapw) {camx = mapw - width;}
19 if (camy + height >= maph) {camy = maph - height;}
20
21 al_identity_transform(&ToWorldCoords);
22 al_identity_transform(&ToScreenCoords);
23 al_translate_transform(&ToWorldCoords , camx , camy);
24 al_translate_transform(&ToScreenCoords , -camx , -camy);
25}
And then use al_transform_coordinates to get coords in or out of each one. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |
